Feasibility Study on a Nordic Lifestyle Intervention Trial Investigating the Effect of Vigorous Activity and Intake of Whole Grain Rye on Cancer Progression, Insulin Sensitivity and Inflammation Among Men With Early Stage Prostate Cancer.

Trial Information

Feasibility Study on a Nordic Lifestyle Intervention Trial Investigating the Effect of Vigorous Activity and Intake of Whole Grain Rye on Cancer Progression, Insulin Sensitivity and Inflammation Among Men With Early Stage Prostate Cancer.

In the present feasibility study it will be established whether it is possible to enroll
participants for this particular kind of intervention among this particular patient group,
and if compliance with the intervention is possible to gain by the tools planned: individual
counselling with a dietician and a physiologist, interviews on diet, exercise tests and
diaries on diet, exercise and steps taken.

Furthermore, the investigators will investigate if we are able to detect effects of the
lifestyle intervention according to cancer progression, the metabolic profile, inflammation
and quality of life among the participants (24 men) within the short intervention period (6
months) for this particular feasibility study.

Biomarkers of effect and compliance will be measured in blood, urine and prostate tissue.
